These were received at PCGS on 11/21, "in process" on 12/12, and grades posted 12/29.. so still close to 20 business days from date of receipt.
Some of the trueviews are a bit off, the 16-D buff isn't that dark and has a lot of red on it, I'll post a camera phone pic of it from when it was raw. (all these were raw when I acquired them)
I don't remember when I even acquired this coin, it is one I found on my desk and thought it should go in. It has luster, despite what the photos depict.
Here is a link to my buffalo short set digital album:

A buff only a mother could love..

Reverse isn't as dark as imaged, its as bright as the obv and same light gold toning

This upgrades the one in my set

Not a buff!

MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    16-D Buffs can be found well struck and attractive- Looks to be a 64 possibly higher and based on your commentary

    25-D Buffs are just miserable coins in terms of quality. I think I would need to see yours in hand to grade any higher than 55

    the 25 looks as if it could go 65- the reverse looks better than most

    The 35-D is likely 64+ shot 65

    The 24-s Peace can be elusive with a reverse that looks good for the date- 63+ with 50% shot at 64

    Nice coins... hopefully you are satisfied with the grades.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Your short set of toned buffalos is fantastic. Kudos!

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    Neat Buffalos, I'd grade the Peace at MS64. Not a lock, yet it sure looks like it.

    I like the colors. The 25-D would have been lamination error if I submitted it :(
    They seemed tough on the Peace, the luster must be dull.

    another 62 (mine) for the buffalo herd

    Liked all your Buffs. Even the 16d. Nice tones!
    That 16d, to me, looks higher than a 62?
    Nice strong strike. B)
